If the 3 mentioned don't take the United managerial job then who would you like us to get?

Zidane is probably the best of the rest but doesn't appear to be interested

Rogers was linked to us heavily but I don't think he's good enough

Mancini is a dark horse but has the game passed him by?

Graham Potter is potentially the brightest English manager but is he ready to step up?

Ralph Hasenhüttl has done a good job at the saints and seems to be cut from the same cloth as Rangnick but like Potter is he ready for big time?
 
Probably Ed Woodward.

Board trust him and he's available on a free which is a big appeal to them.
 
It will be Poch, he won't turn it down

But I would prefer Amorim if not Then Haag
 
Enrique or Amorim are probably the next two with enough about them at the moment to be in the vetting process.

Zidane is my ideal manager but I don’t think he wants us at all, so bleh
 
Hasenhüttl would be my choice if Ten Hag doesn't take the job. I think Pochettino has lost some of his oomph and I don't see Zidane managing outside Spain/France/Italy.

I don't think he has the mentality to be a top level manager - far too emotional.
 
I like Hassanhutl but I think he should be the choice after the next guy providing he doesn’t shit the bed in the meantime.

Its going to be Poch or Ten Hag though. If neither of them want it, I think we’ll offer it to Rangnick until one of them does.
 
It will be one of the 3 mentioned.

Enrique would also be decent though.
 
Enrique would be the safest bet from the perspective of CV, but would be unavailable till the end of 2022 at least due to international commitments.

In terms of managers ready to take the next step (outside of Ten Hag) I’d want Potter from within the league or Amorim outside of it.
 
Keane, Oh please god let it be Keane :lol:
Imagine the leaks! 100 players want to leave as Keane introduces a rack, whips and shock collars to training and beats people who cost us goals with their own boots. Make it happen!
 
I think it will probably be poch but if not I would love to see Potter given a chance. Think he could be great for us.

Unlikely the glazers would appoint a young up and coming manager though they seem to like there established big names.
 
Enrique should be talked about a lot more… I think he’s probably the only one who can really compete with guardiola and challenge for the champions league with us. That will never happen though because of the World Cup coming up. It’s going to be poch isn’t it, we’ve wanted him for a while now and he clearly wants to come back to England where I think his family is. Ralf wants ten Haag though as he thinks he’s the best fit for the club and who can argue with him, he’s been brought in to work with the squad until the end of the season so he will have a clear idea of what type of manager we need.
 
Luis Enrique or Hasenhüttl. Would actually prefer Hasenhüttl though just to see our bunch of bottlers run their asses off. Because if they think training under Ralf is hard they have yet to see what Hasenhüttl is about.
 
If Rangnick moves upstairs, maybe Sebastian Hoeneß. Would be an outrageously risky move as he has minimal first-team coaching experience (only 1½ seasons), but he possesses some basic ingredients for the job: au courant with contemporary positional play principles, did quite well with Bayern's reserve team to overcome nepotism related chit-chat (winning the 3. Liga title in 2020), and connected to Rangnick (via Stuttgart, Hoffenheim and Leipzig). Interestingly, two of the foremost German managers right now spent their formative head-coaching years at Hoffenheim: Flick from 2000—05 during the pre-Rangnick era when they were in the regional leagues, and Nagelsmann from 2016—19; perhaps there's something in the water of Sinsheim?
For his part, Hoeness confirmed that "the basic philosophy of the club is identical with my idea of football – offensive, courageous, flexible and always active." His first job was in the youth academy of Hertha Zehlendorf, then in the sixth-tier of the local Berlin league. But Hoeness had made an important contact during his one-year stint at Hoffenheim: Ralf Rangnick. When Rangnick took over at RB Leipzig, he brought in Hoeness as a youth academy coach, where he was responsible for the club's under-17 and under-19 teams before taking over as Bayern Munich's under-19 coach. A year ago, he took over Bayern's reserve team, which had just earned promotion from the regional fourth division to the national third division. His side was in the relegation zone after eight matchdays, but he led the team to the third division title- the crowning moment of a rapid rise.

Bundesliga: Sebastian Hoeness leaves Bayern Munich reserves for Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim is a club that was highly influenced by Ralf Rangnick. Under his reign, the club made it into the Bundesliga. They banked on a vertical style of play with quick counter-attacks and only as much width as needed. Furthermore, Julian Nagelsmann had a great impact at Hoffenheim as well. With his centrally focused positional play, the team surprised many spectators with attractive attacking football. Comparing Hoffenheim’s philosophy to Hoeness’ style of play at Bayern, we can find some similarities. Hoeness’ attacking tactics resemble Nagelsmann’s positional play. Independent of the tactical formation, both Hoeness and Nagelsmann like to overload the areas between the lines and provide width just with one player per side. Like one can see in the image below (as a part of Patrick Mill’s match analysis), Nagelsmann’s attacking structure also relied on the occupation of the space between the lines as a vital component.

Hoffenheim: How they might play under Sebastian Hoeness.

Decent article, even though Hoffenheim and Hoeneß have now lost their last three Bundesliga games:


Luis Enrique would be the safest and most accomplished option, all things considered; one might argue that he's the best manager we can appoint from the rumored “shortlist” as he is tactically sharp, accustomed to a heavy burden of expectations, and won't shrink in the presence of stars as he has played with and managed some of the most decorated individuals in football history — many of whom outstrip our lot (excluding Cristiano, and maybe Varane): Messi, Fenômeno, Laudrup, Stoichkov, Rivaldo, Raúl, Figo, Xavi, Butragueño, Suárez, Iniesta, Neymar, Hierro, Totti.
 
It will probably be somebody uninspiring and obvious like Poch or Rooney.
 
Luis Enrique for me.

Although I personally think City may target him rather than ETH in a situation where Guardiola leaves.
 
We tried Moyes, LVG, Jose and Ole.

No one is good enough as our club needs an overhaul from top to bottom.
 
Rooney, give him it till 2024 and see how it goes, then Fletcher for a couple years, then maybe switch to Carrick, after that we might aswell give it to pogba.
 
Its not going to happen but Hansi Flik is the one we should be chasing. Hes the next great one.
 
I saw my mate the other day,
He said to me he saw the white Pele,
So I asked, who is he?
He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney.
